Nepal's former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was arrested over his alleged role in a deadly crackdown on protesters in September 2025
Former Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and ex-Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak were arrested on Saturday following recommendations from a government commission investigating their role in a deadly crackdown on protesters in September 2025. More than 70 people were killed during the protests, which began over a social media ban but expanded into broader anti-corruption demonstrations that ultimately led to Oli's resignation and the collapse of his government. The arrests came one day after new Prime Minister Balen Shah was sworn in following elections held in March 2025.
